10 Practical Tips for Scoring 90+ in IGNOU Assignments

Most students believe marks depend only on how much they write. That’s not true.

Evaluators check hundreds of copies. What helps them award high marks is: clarity, structure, readability, and academic alignment.

Below are the field-tested techniques used by high scorers. Apply even half of them and you’ll notice a visible difference.

1) Use the “Triple-Layer” Answer Structure

Never dump long paragraphs.

• Introduction: 3–4 lines defining the concept
• Body: sub-headings + bullet points
• Conclusion: short wrap-up or insight

This makes your answer examiner-friendly and instantly understandable.

2) The Margin Secret

Leave about a 1-inch margin on the left side of every page.

Evaluators use it for remarks and marking. A cramped copy subconsciously feels unprofessional.

3) Black & Blue Pen Strategy

• Questions & headings → Black
• Answers → Blue

This contrast helps evaluators scan quickly and locate important points.

4) Use IGNOU Terminology

Pick keywords from official material and repeat them naturally. When evaluators see familiar academic language, confidence increases.

If you are unsure about correct wording, many students first consult IGNOU Solved Assignments to understand how topics are framed.

5) Add Visual Aids (Huge Advantage)

Even if not compulsory, include small diagrams, tables, or flowcharts.

Visuals break monotony and show deeper understanding.

6) Avoid Word-to-Word Copying

If many students submit identical language, it becomes obvious.

Use reference material, but rewrite in your own voice. Change sentence structure, examples, and order.

7) Quality of Paper Matters

Prefer A4, good thickness sheets. Ink should not bleed to the back.

Clean presentation creates positive first impression before evaluation even begins.

8) The Cover Page Sanity Check

Double-check:

• Enrollment number
• Programme
• Course code
• Study centre

One mistake here can delay or misplace marks.

9) Correct Order of Documents

Arrange exactly like this:

Front Page → ID Card → Question Paper → Answers

This makes checking faster and smoother.

10) Submit 15 Days Early

Early copies are usually checked when workload is lower. Last-minute bundles often get faster, stricter evaluation.

Bonus Reality Most Students Discover Late

Many learners understand the format but simply don’t have time — job, travel, exams, family responsibilities.

That’s why some students either:

• Use solved material for structure
• Or get professionally written handwritten files prepared

Remember — marks are not only about knowledge. They are about how comfortably an evaluator can award them.
